“What’s the best thing about not taking health insurance?”

Direct Primary Care practices like ours operate on a membership model rather than relying on insurance billing and reimbursements. That puts patients and physicians back in control of healthcare and allows us to focus on what matters most: better care and better outcomes.

The result? Happier patients AND happier doctors!

🤒 Influenza is a contagious respiratory virus that can cause serious complications. The 2025-2026 flu season resulted in:

⚠️ About 390,000 hospitalizations
⚠️ An estimated 24,000 deaths

While getting a flu shot is not a guarantee against contracting the flu, data shows that it can decrease the severity of illness.

Peak influenza season tends to run from December through March in Ohio. It takes around two weeks to build up proper immunity. That makes the next few weeks the ideal time to get your flu shot. 💉

🏆 We are honored to announce that for the 2nd time in 3 years, Simplicity Health has been nominated as a finalist for the Dayton Business Journal's "Customer Service Business of The Year Award."

But it got us thinking...

A doctor's office winning an award for customer service is like handing a restaurant a trophy for having a clean bathroom 🚽. Nobody is celebrating the food. They're celebrating that the basics got done.

What should be basic in healthcare:
1. We answer the phone
2. We know you by name
3. We offer a fair and transparent price
4. We run on time
5. We spend time with patients developing deep and meaningful relationships

That's the bar. It's low enough to trip over, and most of healthcare still doesn't clear it.

So help us celebrate our bathroom 🚽

We've all heard the line "Laughter is the best medicine." It can't cure disease, but it can it lower cortisol, change heart rate and blood pressure, relax muscle tension, reduce perceived stress, and increase pain tolerance.

Let go of some of that stress and laugh at... I mean, with... Dr. Butler.

25 years ago today, our country experienced unimaginable loss. Yet in the days and weeks that followed, grief bonded us together and reminded us of our strength when we stand as one.

Today, it can feel like the threads holding us together are fraying. But having different solutions to America's challenges doesn't mean we need to be enemies. Our highest calling is still to treat each other with dignity and care.

Our challenge to you today: be the good. Donate to a cause, hold the door for a stranger, or respond to vitriol with grace. Small acts of love are how we honor the victims and heroes of that day.

Never forget.
